Excellent product for the price!. We were very pleased with the quality of this product for the price compared to others that were asking twice as much or more. Our daughter is 4 and she loves it. We were amazed in how quickly she got used to riding on it. She is learning to balance very well. We are always using our bikes and because WeeRide Co-Pilot Trailer Bike folds down so easily it doesn’t take up much room in the garage or you can take it with you anywhere you go. It also disconnects from the hitch real easy. Can’t say enough about this product as we are just really enjoying it. Great exercise for the whole family!!
Good bike, horrible company. I bought this bike because I wanted something lightweight and sporty to ride on the weekends for exercise, something I could ride for 1-2 hours without having to stop. I have yet to even ride the bike because GMC Road Bike was shipped to me with a bent derailer. I called Kent to be reimbursed for the cost of that part because instead of contacted them immediately I took it my local bike shop to have it repaired so I woouldn’t have to wait for a part to arrive. The customer service rep for Kent was the rudest woman I have ever dealt with in my life, even worse than the employees at Circuit City. When she told me that Kent doesn’t cover service to the bikes, I asked her is it perfectly fine that you ship damaged goods to consumers and not compensate them for it? And she responded, yes it is. She had the audacity to tell me they aren’t responsible for the products that THEY manufacture. This is the first and last Kent bike I will ever own, and like I said I have not even ridden it yet. My first impression of it out of the bnox was, wow this does look like a really expensive bike, and I only paid 147 for it. It is a bit heavy for road bike, but Its still lighter than my mongoose mountain bike. I live in NYC and when I want to go to central park I have to lug it up and down subway stairs, and so I would much rather carry this bike than my mongoose. Hoping it rides as nice as it looks. If you buy this bike and you have a broken part call Kent and get them to send you a replacement part immediatley, otherwise pay for it out of pocket and dont even bother contacting them.
Excellent space saver – high quality. I am very pleased with this purchase. We bought three of these bike lifts. The Bike lift is of high quality and is an ease to put up. It is a joy to get my garage floor back.
Uncomfortable. The bike comes with the hardest seat I have ever sat on! Also, the way the seat is so far above the handle bars, or Mongoose Montana Womens Mountain Bike seems that way, makes my wrists hurt.
Trike does not last.. We bought this trike because of the “cool” factor. It did not stay nice looking for long. It’s been 2 years with one year inside the house and one on the covered patio. It looks like Schwinn Roadster 12-Inch Trike is an original rust bucket. I even waxed it to try to avoid this. I would not spend the money again.
Definitely a great bike for the price!. For [...] you can’t beat this bike! Granted, it’s not near as light as the bike shop mountain bikes, but it’s also a fifth of the price. I couldn’t find another bike for under [...] that had dual suspension AND dual disc-brakes. Now, the partial assembly could have been better, though. Out of the box, the front fork was on backwards, and the derailleurs were totally out of tune! But the front fork was as easy as loosening the nut and turning Mongoose Status 26-Inch Dual-Suspension Mountain Bike around, and the local bike shop tuned the derailleurs for [...] so I now have an awesome bike for right at [...] Overall a great purchase!
Great Trike. We have purchased 3 of these tricycles in the past 2 years for our grandsons; 1 was a gift, but the other 2 are kept at our home as I watch the boys daily. The boys, ages 20 months and 3 yrs, love to ride them with the streamers flying and the bell ringing. I love them because of the way they are built. The center of gravity is set very low to the ground, making spills and tip-overs a thing of the past. The rubber wheels have a better grip than the plastic wheels of other brands too. (I had purchased a small plastic trike and the way the wheels would just spin in place was very frustrating to the boys.) The old-fashioned fenders on the wheels help keep little fingers from getting hurt and the wide step in the back seems to be useful when getting on or off. All in all, a great trike.
GiGi-Hannah’s grandmother. Love it, love Mongoose ShowTime Boys Bike and love it. Super fast shipping. I bought this for my granddaughter who just turned 3 years old. Easy to assemble and great quality for a tricycle. She not only loves the tricycle, but has a blast with the bell. This tricyle is made like the bike of yester years. Super price on Amazon along with the free shipping. I would recommend this product to all who are considering the first tricyles. A+A+A+
